Google has now made its new <strong>Google Search Console AI performance reports<\/strong> and Search generative AI control available globally. After a phased rollout that began earlier in 2026, Google says the features reached websites worldwide on August 31, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is more than another Search Console dashboard update. Google Search is increasingly moving beyond the familiar list of blue links, with <strong>Google AI Overviews<\/strong> and <strong>Google AI Mode<\/strong> becoming important places where people discover information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For website owners and SEO professionals, that creates a new question: <em>Is my content actually being seen in Google&#8217;s AI search experiences?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Search Console gives you a much better way to start answering it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are Google Search Console AI performance reports?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new <strong>Google Search Console AI performance reports<\/strong> are dedicated reports that show how often links to your website appear in Google&#8217;s generative AI search features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Search report currently covers <strong>AI Overviews and AI Mode<\/strong>. You can analyze impressions based on pages, countries, devices and dates. Google also allows the data to be viewed across different time periods, making it easier to spot changes in AI search visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s important because AI visibility used to be much harder to isolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI related impressions were already part of Google&#8217;s broader Search Console reporting. The problem was that marketers couldn&#8217;t easily separate AI generated search exposure from the rest of their organic search performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of the new report as a dedicated window into one part of modern search&nbsp; not a replacement for the traditional Performance report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google&#8217;s Search team has described the reports as a way to help website owners understand how their pages are being shown in generative AI features and to gather feedback about what additional insights would be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And honestly, that&#8217;s probably the biggest story here: <strong>Google is beginning to treat AI search visibility as something SEOs should measure separately.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What can you actually see in the AI search visibility report?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where things get interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report isn&#8217;t simply another version of the standard clicks and impressions dashboard. It focuses specifically on impressions generated through supported generative AI features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can examine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AI impressions:<\/strong> How often links to your pages appeared in AI search features.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pages:<\/strong> Which URLs received AI visibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Countries:<\/strong> Where those AI impressions originated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Devices:<\/strong> Whether users were searching from desktop, mobile or tablet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dates:<\/strong> How your AI visibility changes over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google explains that the report&#8217;s impressions represent links to your site being shown to users within generative AI features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is, however, an important catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The dedicated report doesn&#8217;t currently provide AI specific click data.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a pretty big limitation if you&#8217;re trying to connect visibility directly to website traffic or revenue. Search Engine Journal also highlighted this measurement gap in its analysis of the rollout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So don&#8217;t look at an increase in AI impressions and immediately conclude that your business is getting more customers from AI search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impressions tell you that your content appeared. They don&#8217;t tell the whole story about what happened afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How are Google AI Overviews and AI Mode counted?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one area where the terminology can get confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google AI Overviews<\/strong> provide an AI generated summary within Search, accompanied by links to supporting web resources. Google says clicks on those external links count as clicks in Search Console, while impressions follow the standard impression methodology. All links within an AI Overview are assigned the same Search Console position because the AI Overview itself occupies a single position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google AI Mode<\/strong> is more conversational. It can break a user&#8217;s question into related subtopics and search for information across those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clicks on external links in AI Mode count as clicks, according to Google&#8217;s documentation. Follow up questions in AI Mode are treated as new queries, so their impression, position and click data are counted separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That distinction matters when analyzing your numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re accustomed to judging SEO entirely through rankings, AI search makes the old model a little less tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A page can be valuable because it becomes a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/seo-beyond-the-website-ai-era-visibility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>source inside an AI response<\/strong><\/a>, even when that exposure doesn&#8217;t behave like a traditional number one organic result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Google itself puts it in its AI search guidance, AI features are built on the same fundamental Search systems that websites have relied on for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, don&#8217;t throw traditional SEO out the window. Just widen the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can you stop your website from appearing in Google&#8217;s AI search?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Google has also rolled out a <strong>Search generative AI control<\/strong> globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setting gives site owners a choice between including or excluding their site&#8217;s links and content from Google&#8217;s supported generative AI features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current control applies to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AI Overviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI Mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generative AI features in Google Discover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By default, properties are included. If a site owner chooses to exclude the site, its content won&#8217;t be available as links or grounding material in those generative AI experiences, and the site won&#8217;t receive impressions or traffic from those features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s an important detail here: Google says this control isn&#8217;t the same as blocking your site from normal Search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to remove a page from Google Search altogether, that&#8217;s a different job and requires mechanisms such as noindex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google also says changing the generative AI control generally takes a few days to take effect, with content typically excluded within one to two days, although caching and system propagation can make some cases take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most publishers, the real decision probably isn&#8217;t <em>\u201cShould I block AI?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s <em>\u201cIs the visibility I&#8217;m receiving useful enough to keep participating?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a much more practical question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does this mean for AI SEO and content strategy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the update becomes useful rather than merely interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re serious about <strong>AI SEO<\/strong>, start treating the new report as another source of content intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for pages that consistently receive AI impressions. Then ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why those pages?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are they answering specific questions clearly? Are they easy to understand? Do they demonstrate first hand experience? Are they well connected to related pages on your website?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, look for pages receiving little or no AI visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t automatically rewrite them just because the numbers are low. Instead, compare them with your strongest pages. Look at search intent, depth, clarity, internal linking, factual support and overall usefulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your broader SEO strategy should still include strong technical foundations, crawlability, indexing, helpful content and clear site architecture. Google&#8217;s own guidance continues to emphasize these fundamentals for visibility in AI features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to go deeper, our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/technical-seo-for-ai-search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>technical SEO for AI search<\/strong><\/a> explains why crawlability, indexability and site structure still matter in AI powered search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you&#8217;re using AI to speed up SEO research or content analysis, our guide to using AI for SEO covers practical ways to use AI without turning your content strategy into an automated content factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more thing: don&#8217;t obsess over a single week&#8217;s data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Search is moving quickly, and reporting systems can have anomalies. Google, for example, documented a logging error that reduced reported Generative AI Search impressions between August 13 and August 17, 2026. The company said the issue affected reporting data rather than actual Search performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means trends are more useful than isolated spikes or drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should you use the new report to change your SEO strategy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes but don&#8217;t overreact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new <strong>Google Search Console AI performance reports<\/strong> are best viewed as an additional measurement layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your normal Search Console data still matters. Organic clicks, impressions, CTR, rankings, indexing and queries remain useful. The AI report simply helps you understand what happens when Google presents your content through a more AI driven interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sensible workflow is pretty simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check which pages are earning AI impressions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare those pages with your traditional organic winners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for topics where AI visibility is growing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve weak pages based on search intent and usefulness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor changes over several weeks rather than reacting to one day&#8217;s data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use Analytics to understand what happens after visitors reach your site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your technical SEO and internal linking healthy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest mistake would be treating AI impressions as the new version of rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re a different signal that helps answer a different question: <strong>Is Google using or displaying my content inside its newer search experiences?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that question is going to become increasingly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should website owners do now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven&#8217;t looked at the report yet, this is a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open Search Console and check whether your property has the <strong>Generative AI performance report<\/strong>. Google says the feature is now globally rolled out, although a site may not show the report if it hasn&#8217;t received enough impressions from generative AI features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then check your Search generative AI control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most sites, staying included makes sense while you gather real performance data. If you decide otherwise, understand the trade off: excluding your content means giving up visibility, impressions and traffic from those AI features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more useful approach is to experiment carefully, measure what happens and make decisions based on evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s really the shift happening here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SEO isn&#8217;t disappearing. The scoreboard is simply getting bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google&#8217;s official <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/appearance\/ai-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>AI features guidance<\/strong><\/a> is also worth reviewing if you&#8217;re building a long term strategy around AI search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQ\u2019s<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1788349643032\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is the Google Search Console AI performance report available globally?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.

There&#8217;s no dedicated AI click metric in the new report, and impressions alone can&#8217;t tell you whether AI visibility produced meaningful business results. But it&#8217;s still a major step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The smartest SEO teams won&#8217;t chase AI impressions just for the sake of a bigger number. They&#8217;ll use the data to understand which content Google considers useful enough to surface, then use those insights to create better pages, stronger topical coverage and more helpful answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Search is changing quickly. At least now, website owners have a better dashboard for watching that change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Have you started seeing AI impressions for your website in Search Console?
